Student Folder

Online texts and files can be collected and published via the Student Folder activity and thus made available to everyone in a Moodle course. Submissions can be made directly by uploading or alternatively can be taken over by teachers from an assignment activity.

No support in the comments section on this page! See below for bug reports and support.

Usage

A possible teaching scenario could look like this: Seminar papers must be submitted as part of a course. The documents created should be uploaded by the students in the assignment activity. Teachers assess the submissions online and provide feedback. In order to make individual or all submitted documents accessible to all participants in the course, a student folder is then created by the teachers and linked to the assignment. Teachers can then decide which documents should be visible to participants. It is also possible to make the publication of documents dependent on the consent of the students who submitted them.

Students present their group work as part of a seminar. The presentations and summaries created for this should be made available to all participants in the course. The teachers therefore create a student folder in which the files can be uploaded directly and published immediately. Students can then upload the documents themselves. Teachers can change the visibility of individual files at any time if necessary.

Documentation

You can find a documentation for the plugin on the AMC website.

Bug Reports / Support

We try our best to deliver bug-free plugins, but we can not test the plugin for every platform, database, PHP and Moodle version. If you find any bug please report it on GitHub. Please provide a detailed bug description, including the plugin and Moodle version and, if applicable, a screenshot.

You may also file a request for enhancement on GitHub. If we consider the request generally useful and if it can be implemented with reasonable effort we might implement it in a future version.

You may also post general questions on the plugin on GitHub, but note that we do not have the resources to provide detailed support.

    How does the Admin or teacher delete an uploaded file? I mean, the teacher can unapprove a file. Thereafter it always appears in the Uploads listing with a red "X" over it. But an approved file is as good being deleted because it has no use. So rather than have lots of unapproved files clutter the Student Upload activity, not to mention the server hard disk space being used up by such files, could not those 'rejected' files be removed/deleted by the Teacher?

    It is our policy that teachers are never able to alter student's submissions. The student can delete the files as long as the submission is still open.

    Hi, there.
    I just tried to install Student Folder, and I got a DDL sql execution error. This caused our site to go down for a few minutes, and I had to delete the plugin folder from the server.

    The first line of the error log says "× Debug info: Table 'mdl_29err_publication' already exists". This sounds like the plugin might already be installed, but it's not.
    Any ideas? Any help would be appreciated, as this plugin is exactly what we need right now.
    thanks.
    Jacques

    BTW, it's the 3.3 version I tried to install. We're using 3.3.1.

    Hi again Jacques,

    The error says during installation of mod_publication in your Moodle instance, Moodle core tries to create mod_publication's main table (holding instance data) and fails due to it being already present.
    I tried a complete new installation (once Moodle 3.3.1 and Student folder v3.3.0 at the same time and once Moodle first and Student folder afterwards) without problems.
    Do you use a Database shared with other applictions/sites? Do you have other plugins installed, which may used the table name YOURMOODLEDBPREFIX + 'publications'?
    Have you tried a complete new installation or have you upgraded from an older Moodle instance? Was mod_publication installed before?

    What Database under which OS do you use? Have you tried looking for the mentioned table in the DB?

    Cheers,
    Philipp

    We have started using this plugin, and works good for our students. We often allow our students to resubmit assignments. It would be helpful if there was a way for us to 'check' and assignment as 'graded'; that way teachers could just look at the newly submitted or latest submitted assignment. Thank you for your hard work and for allowing us to use this plugin!
